How can we push energy sources to maximum efficiency and promote adoption?
We want to create a site in the Montgomery County (and potentially surrounding areas) as a hub to pull in resources from Solar Panel Manufacturers and Wind Turbine designers in order to develop a “research community” of folks in an off-grid environment and to develop a method of reducing waste and showing the benefits of off-grid energy production.
Sponsorship Packages
Financial Agreement with Affiliate Companies Supply us with wind turbines and solar panels currently in need of testing or development. Allows cooperation with University Resources.
Survey of Blacksburg
See which sites in Blacksburg and the surrouding communities will optimize our energy and power requirements. Acknowledge what conditions the affiliate companies want to test and monitor.
Consumer Adoption
Acknowledge what plan the targeted consumers will want. What will they gain from this project? What costs do they have to consider on their end? Who do they need to contact?
Research & Development
Have the associated companies wireleslly overview their product outputs and ensure proper communication with University faculty for testing on composites, materials, conductivity, etc.
Blacksburg, Virginia
A town built upon a history of life, research, and innovation. We are striving to use such a vibrant hub for this exciting prospect! Participants in this project will in its conclusion have:
-
Maximized Independence from Grid:
-
Lower Energy costs
-
Complete control over their energy usage
-
Promote Renewable Practice​
-
-
Long-Term Profit Saving:
-
Initial installation cost is sizable → Can be offset by sponsors
-
Successful Goals met will provide a greater amount of public focus on the prototypes supplied to us from sponsors companies like Panasonic, Tesla, Boeing, etc.
Promoting the affiliates, the Environment, and the people.
Environmental
Analysis and Considerations
With new energy applications; it is important to analyze its environmental contribution and/or degradation to consider how “green” the application is and raise any environmental concerns. Solar energy is a well-known renewable energy source that provides an efficient alternative to non-renewable energy like coal and gas. However, there are several variables that can impact the environment including: manufacturing processes, installations, toxic chemicals, and land and water use. Similar analysis can be done with Small Scale Wind Turbines. This is a balancing act we aim to close the gap between and ensure a higher positive gain.
